Sustainable Hotel in Costa Rica respecting nature and people

At Hotel Giada, sustainability isn’t just a certificate on the wall — it’s the way we live, work, and welcome our guests. Every choice we make, from the services we offer to the partnerships we build, reflects our deep respect for the land we call home.

We are proud to hold the Sustainable Tourism Certification (CST) from the Costa Rican Tourism Institute (ICT) — the only business in the area with this prestigious recognition. For us, it’s not just about meeting standards, but about setting an example of how tourism can be a true force for good.

As a 100% Carbon Neutral hotel, certified by 100% Carbono Neutral, we carefully measure, reduce, and offset our carbon emissions to protect the natural beauty that surrounds us. Each year, we push ourselves further — cutting emissions, adopting greener solutions, and aiming for an even bigger goal: to give back more to nature than we take away.

The Corales de Sámara Project
Supporting marine life

One of the initiatives closest to our hearts is the Corales de Sámara Project, a non-profit effort supported by INA and supervised by MINAE.

Here, conservation meets hope: through coral nurseries and careful monitoring, we’re helping restore the reefs of Isla Chora, a protected Marine Refuge where fishing is strictly prohibited. The results are already visible — corals are growing, fish and marine species are returning, and the bay is alive again.

We’ve also helped transform lives on land: several local fishermen have traded their nets for a new role as eco-tour guides, sharing their love for the sea with visitors while protecting it for the future.

The Ecological Blue Flag
ashared succes

We are proud members of the Blue Flag Beach Committee of Sámara, working together with neighbors, organizations, and local authorities to keep our beach clean, safe, and welcoming.

The Ecological Blue Flag Program (PBAE) is one of Costa Rica’s most respected environmental awards, recognizing destinations that meet exceptional standards for sustainability, hygiene, and environmental care. Sámara has earned this award for many years, and this year we celebrated once again — receiving three white stars and one green star.

For us, it’s more than a prize; it’s proof that when a community unites for a cause, real change happens.

People at theheart

At Hotel Giada, people are the foundation of everything we do. Our team — where women proudly represent the majority — embodies our commitment to equality, empowerment, and community growth. By valuing and supporting people, we create meaningful experiences for our guests and a sustainable future for all.

How to Help

Sustainability is a shared journey. Beyond our hotel, we invite our guests and partners to take part in protecting nature and supporting local initiatives. Here are some ways you can get involved:

Fabulous!

This hotel is beautiful and very clean. There is a short walk to the beach. There are plenty of great restaurants nearby. The breakfast is great, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We look forward to returning for a longer stay. There is convenient parking. The staff suggested a dolphin/snorkel tour that was reasonably priced and worth the time.

Perfect Location

This cute hotel is right in the center of the a quaint town called Samara. It is also just a couple blocks to Samara beach. Our patio backed up to the pool which made it easy and relaxing. A delicious breakfast is included in the price. We went in the rainy season (poured for two days). Luckily, it’s a refreshing rain and didn’t stop us from swimming in the pool and shopping in town.

Very Pleasant

The hotel has a good location. It is close to the beach and has several bars, restaurants, shops, banks, and other services nearby. The hotel has two swimming pools, and an added value (for me) is having parking. The hotel's pleasantness is also due to the friendliness and professionalism of its staff.

My only regret was that I only stayed two nights

Samara beach was amazing and the people at the hotel were super helpful and friendly. I can highly recommend the food at the hotel restaurant. I ended up eating there both nights and was very happy both times. The pool in the rear is in a very nice quiet garden setting. I was traveling solo and found it very easy to meet fellow travelers

Great Stay

The location is great. The staff here is amazing. Everyone is so nice and helpful. Room was clean and comfortable. We have been coming here, as one of our stops in Costa Rica, for the past 3 years. Always a nice stay.

wonderful place!

The location is perfect, right along the main street, just a few minutes walk to the beach and anywhere in town. Everything was perfectly clean and comfortable, really well taken care of. Comfortable beds and hot showers, daily housekeeping. The front desk staff was so warm and friendly, they really went out of their way to make me feel welcome.
